/**
 * @defgroup update_api Update API
 * @{
 * Updating minor versions of modules
 *
 * When you update code in a module, you may need to update stored data so that
 * the stored data is compatible with the new code. If this update is between
 * two minor versions of your module within the same major version of Drupal,
 * you can use the Update API to update the data. This API is described in brief
 * here; for more details, see https://www.drupal.org/node/2535316. If you are
 * updating your module for a major version of Drupal (for instance, Drupal 7 to
 * Drupal 8), updates will not run and you will need to use the
 * @link migrate Migrate API @endlink instead.
 *
 * @section sec_when When to write update code
 * You need to provide code that performs an update to stored data whenever your
 * module makes a change to its data model. A data model change is any change
 * that makes stored data on an existing site incompatible with that site's
 * updated codebase. Examples:
 * - Configuration changes: adding/removing/renaming a config key, changing the
 *   expected data type or value structure, changing dependencies, schema
 *   changes, etc.
 * - Database schema changes: adding, changing, or removing a database table or
 *   field; moving stored data to different fields or tables; changing the
 *   format of stored data.
 * - Content entity or field changes: adding, changing, or removing a field
 *   definition, entity definition, or any of their properties.
 *
 * @section sec_how How to write update code
 * Update code for a module is put into an implementation of hook_update_N(),
 * which goes into file mymodule.install (if your module's machine name is
 * mymodule). See the documentation of hook_update_N() and
 * https://www.drupal.org/node/2535316 for details and examples.
 *
 * @section sec_test Testing update code
 * Update code should be tested both manually and by writing an automated test.
 * Automated tests for update code extend
 * \Drupal\system\Tests\Update\UpdatePathTestBase -- see that class for details,
 * and find classes that extend it for examples.

/**
 * Defines one or more hooks that are exposed by a module.
 *
 * Normally hooks do not need to be explicitly defined. However, by declaring a
 * hook explicitly, a module may define a "group" for it. Modules that implement
 * a hook may then place their implementation in either $module.module or in
 * $module.$group.inc. If the hook is located in $module.$group.inc, then that
 * file will be automatically loaded when needed.
 * In general, hooks that are rarely invoked and/or are very large should be
 * placed in a separate include file, while hooks that are very short or very
 * frequently called should be left in the main module file so that they are
 * always available.
 *
 * @return
 *   An associative array whose keys are hook names and whose values are an
 *   associative array containing:
 *   - group: A string defining the group to which the hook belongs. The module
 *     system will determine whether a file with the name $module.$group.inc
 *     exists, and automatically load it when required.

/**
 * Return an array of tasks to be performed by an installation profile.
 *
 * Any tasks you define here will be run, in order, after the installer has
 * finished the site configuration step but before it has moved on to the
 * final import of languages and the end of the installation. This is invoked
 * by install_tasks(). You can have any number of custom tasks to perform
 * during this phase.
 *
 * Each task you define here corresponds to a callback function which you must
 * separately define and which is called when your task is run. This function
 * will receive the global installation state variable, $install_state, as
 * input, and has the opportunity to access or modify any of its settings. See
 * the install_state_defaults() function in the installer for the list of
 * $install_state settings used by Drupal core.
 *
 * At the end of your task function, you can indicate that you want the
 * installer to pause and display a page to the user by returning any themed
 * output that should be displayed on that page (but see below for tasks that
 * use the form API or batch API; the return values of these task functions are
 * handled differently). You should also use #title within the task
 * callback function to set a custom page title. For some tasks, however, you
 * may want to simply do some processing and pass control to the next task
 * without ending the page request; to indicate this, simply do not send back
 * a return value from your task function at all. This can be used, for
 * example, by installation profiles that need to configure certain site
 * settings in the database without obtaining any input from the user.
 *
 * The task function is treated specially if it defines a form or requires
 * batch processing; in that case, you should return either the form API
 * definition or batch API array, as appropriate. See below for more
 * information on the 'type' key that you must define in the task definition
 * to inform the installer that your task falls into one of those two
 * categories. It is important to use these APIs directly, since the installer
 * may be run non-interactively (for example, via a command line script), all
 * in one page request; in that case, the installer will automatically take
 * care of submitting forms and processing batches correctly for both types of
 * installations. You can inspect the $install_state['interactive'] boolean to
 * see whether or not the current installation is interactive, if you need
 * access to this information.
 *
 * Remember that a user installing Drupal interactively will be able to reload
 * an installation page multiple times, so you should use \Drupal::state() to
 * store any data that you may need later in the installation process. Any
 * temporary state must be removed using \Drupal::state()->delete() before
 * your last task has completed and control is handed back to the installer.
 *
 * @param array $install_state
 *   An array of information about the current installation state.
 *
 * @return array
 *   A keyed array of tasks the profile will perform during the final stage of
 *   the installation. Each key represents the name of a function (usually a
 *   function defined by this profile, although that is not strictly required)
 *   that is called when that task is run. The values are associative arrays
 *   containing the following key-value pairs (all of which are optional):
 *   - display_name: The human-readable name of the task. This will be
 *     displayed to the user while the installer is running, along with a list
 *     of other tasks that are being run. Leave this unset to prevent the task
 *     from appearing in the list.
 *   - display: This is a boolean which can be used to provide finer-grained
 *     control over whether or not the task will display. This is mostly useful
 *     for tasks that are intended to display only under certain conditions;
 *     for these tasks, you can set 'display_name' to the name that you want to
 *     display, but then use this boolean to hide the task only when certain
 *     conditions apply.
 *   - type: A string representing the type of task. This parameter has three
 *     possible values:
 *     - normal: (default) This indicates that the task will be treated as a
 *       regular callback function, which does its processing and optionally
 *       returns HTML output.
 *     - batch: This indicates that the task function will return a batch API
 *       definition suitable for batch_set() or an array of batch definitions
 *       suitable for consecutive batch_set() calls. The installer will then
 *       take care of automatically running the task via batch processing.
 *     - form: This indicates that the task function will return a standard
 *       form API definition (and separately define validation and submit
 *       handlers, as appropriate). The installer will then take care of
 *       automatically directing the user through the form submission process.
 *   - run: A constant representing the manner in which the task will be run.
 *     This parameter has three possible values:
 *     - INSTALL_TASK_RUN_IF_NOT_COMPLETED: (default) This indicates that the
 *       task will run once during the installation of the profile.
 *     - INSTALL_TASK_SKIP: This indicates that the task will not run during
 *       the current installation page request. It can be used to skip running
 *       an installation task when certain conditions are met, even though the
 *       task may still show on the list of installation tasks presented to the
 *       user.
 *     - INSTALL_TASK_RUN_IF_REACHED: This indicates that the task will run on
 *       each installation page request that reaches it. This is rarely
 *       necessary for an installation profile to use; it is primarily used by
 *       the Drupal installer for bootstrap-related tasks.
 *   - function: Normally this does not need to be set, but it can be used to
 *     force the installer to call a different function when the task is run
 *     (rather than the function whose name is given by the array key). This
 *     could be used, for example, to allow the same function to be called by
 *     two different tasks.

/**
 * Perform a single update between minor versions.
 *
 * hook_update_N() can only be used to update between minor versions of a
 * module. To upgrade between major versions of Drupal (for example, between
 * Drupal 7 and 8), use the @link migrate Migrate API @endlink instead.
 *
 * @section sec_naming Naming and documenting your function
 * For each change in a module that requires one or more actions to be performed
 * when updating a site, add a new implementation of hook_update_N() to your
 * mymodule.install file (assuming mymodule is the machine name of your module).
 * Implementations of hook_update_N() are named (module name)_update_(number).
 * The numbers are normally composed of three parts:
 * - 1 or 2 digits for Drupal core compatibility (Drupal 8, 9, 10, etc.). This
 *   convention must be followed.
 * - 1 digit for your module's major release version; for example, for 8.x-1.*
 *   use 1, for 8.x-2.* use 2, for Core 8.0.x use 0, and for Core 8.1.x use 1.
 *   This convention is optional but suggested for clarity.
 * - 2 digits for sequential counting, starting with 01. Note that the x000
 *   number can never be used: the lowest update number that will be recognized
 *   and run for major version x is x001.
 * Examples:
 * - node_update_8001(): The first update for the Drupal 8.0.x version of the
 *   Drupal Core node module.
 * - mymodule_update_8101(): The first update for your custom or contributed
 *   module's 8.x-1.x versions.
 * - mymodule_update_8201(): The first update for the 8.x-2.x versions.
 *
 * Never renumber update functions. The numeric part of the hook implementation
 * function is stored in the database to keep track of which updates have run,
 * so it is important to maintain this information consistently.
 *
 * The documentation block preceding this function is stripped of newlines and
 * used as the description for the update on the pending updates task list,
 * which users will see when they run the update.php script.
 *
 * @section sec_notes Notes about the function body
 * Writing hook_update_N() functions is tricky. There are several reasons why
 * this is the case:
 * - You do not know when updates will be run: someone could be keeping up with
 *   every update and run them when the database and code are in the same state
 *   as when you wrote your update function, or they could have waited until a
 *   few more updates have come out, and run several at the same time.
 * - You do not know the state of other modules' updates either.
 * - Other modules can use hook_update_dependencies() to run updates between
 *   your module's updates, so you also cannot count on your functions running
 *   right after one another.
 * - You do not know what environment your update will run in (which modules
 *   are installed, whether certain hooks are implemented or not, whether
 *   services are overridden, etc.).
 *
 * Because of these reasons, you'll need to use care in writing your update
 * function. Some things to think about:
 * - Never assume that the database schema is the same when the update will run
 *   as it is when you wrote the update function. So, when updating a database
 *   table or field, put the schema information you want to update to directly
 *   into your function instead of calling your hook_schema() function to
 *   retrieve it (this is one case where the right thing to do is copy and paste
 *   the code).
 * - Never assume that the configuration schema is the same when the update will
 *   run as it is when you wrote the update function. So, when saving
 *   configuration, use the $has_trusted_data = TRUE parameter so that schema is
 *   ignored, and make sure that the configuration data you are saving matches
 *   the configuration schema at the time when you write the update function
 *   (later updates may change it again to match new schema changes).
 * - Never assume your field or entity type definitions are the same when the
 *   update will run as they are when you wrote the update function. Always
 *   retrieve the correct version via
 *   \Drupal::entityDefinitionUpdateManager()::getEntityType() or
 *   \Drupal::entityDefinitionUpdateManager()::getFieldStorageDefinition(). When
 *   adding a new definition always replicate it in the update function body as
 *   you would do with a schema definition.
 * - Never call \Drupal::entityDefinitionUpdateManager()::applyUpdates() in an
 *   update function, as it will apply updates for any module not only yours,
 *   which will lead to unpredictable results.
 * - Be careful about API functions and especially CRUD operations that you use
 *   in your update function. If they invoke hooks or use services, they may
 *   not behave as expected, and it may actually not be appropriate to use the
 *   normal API functions that invoke all the hooks, use the database schema,
 *   and/or use services in an update function -- you may need to switch to
 *   using a more direct method (database query, etc.).
 * - In particular, loading, saving, or performing any other CRUD operation on
 *   an entity is never safe to do (they always involve hooks and services).
 * - Never rebuild the router during an update function.
 *
 * The following actions are examples of things that are safe to do during
 * updates:
 * - Cache invalidation.
 * - Using \Drupal::configFactory()->getEditable() and \Drupal::config(), as
 *   long as you make sure that your update data matches the schema, and you
 *   use the $has_trusted_data argument in the save operation.
 * - Marking a container for rebuild.
 * - Using the API provided by \Drupal::entityDefinitionUpdateManager() to
 *   update the entity schema based on changes in entity type or field
 *   definitions provided by your module.
 *
 * See https://www.drupal.org/node/2535316 for more on writing update functions.
 *
 * @section sec_bulk Batch updates
 * If running your update all at once could possibly cause PHP to time out, use
 * the $sandbox parameter to indicate that the Batch API should be used for your
 * update. In this case, your update function acts as an implementation of
 * callback_batch_operation(), and $sandbox acts as the batch context
 * parameter. In your function, read the state information from the previous
 * run from $sandbox (or initialize), run a chunk of updates, save the state in
 * $sandbox, and set $sandbox['#finished'] to a value between 0 and 1 to
 * indicate the percent completed, or 1 if it is finished (you need to do this
 * explicitly in each pass).
 *
 * See the @link batch Batch operations topic @endlink for more information on
 * how to use the Batch API.
 *
 * @param array $sandbox
 *   Stores information for batch updates. See above for more information.
 *
 * @return string|null
 *   Optionally, update hooks may return a translated string that will be
 *   displayed to the user after the update has completed. If no message is
 *   returned, no message will be presented to the user.

 * - Status reporting ($phase == 'runtime').
 *
 * Note that this hook, like all others dealing with installation and updates,
 * must reside in a module_name.install file, or it will not properly abort
 * the installation of the module if a critical requirement is missing.
 *
 * During the 'install' phase, modules can for example assert that
 * library or server versions are available or sufficient.
 * Note that the installation of a module can happen during installation of
 * Drupal itself (by install.php) with an installation profile or later by hand.
 * As a consequence, install-time requirements must be checked without access
 * to the full Drupal API, because it is not available during install.php.
 * If a requirement has a severity of REQUIREMENT_ERROR, install.php will abort
 * or at least the module will not install.
 * Other severity levels have no effect on the installation.
 * Module dependencies do not belong to these installation requirements,
 * but should be defined in the module's .info.yml file.
 *
 * The 'runtime' phase is not limited to pure installation requirements
 * but can also be used for more general status information like maintenance
 * tasks and security issues.
 * The returned 'requirements' will be listed on the status report in the
 * administration section, with indication of the severity level.
 * Moreover, any requirement with a severity of REQUIREMENT_ERROR severity will
 * result in a notice on the administration configuration page.
 *
 * @param $phase
 *   The phase in which requirements are checked:
 *   - install: The module is being installed.
 *   - update: The module is enabled and update.php is run.
 *   - runtime: The runtime requirements are being checked and shown on the
 *     status report page.
 *

 *   An associative array where the keys are arbitrary but must be unique (it
 *   is suggested to use the module short name as a prefix) and the values are
 *   themselves associative arrays with the following elements:
 *   - title: The name of the requirement.
 *   - value: The current value (e.g., version, time, level, etc). During
 *     install phase, this should only be used for version numbers, do not set
 *     it if not applicable.
 *   - description: The description of the requirement/status.
 *   - severity: The requirement's result/severity level, one of:
 *     - REQUIREMENT_INFO: For info only.
 *     - REQUIREMENT_OK: The requirement is satisfied.
 *     - REQUIREMENT_WARNING: The requirement failed with a warning.
